Chat functions are unavailable after entering combat.
Therefore, the video can only end here.
As for what that monstrous face was, no one could say for sure.
"Replay the last scene!"
Zhang Chen said.
Soon, the last bizarre, giant face appeared on the projection.
Because the last scene flashed by, even a freeze-frame couldn't capture a clear image.
The effect was rather blurry, only providing a rough outline.
This face was much larger than an ordinary human face, as large as a washbasin.
It was deathly pale, with distorted and ferocious features.
No other details could be discerned.
"Generally, only infected individuals retain human-like faces. Could this guy be a Type IV mutated infected?"
Someone asked.
"No, I've seen Type IV mutated infected. This one looks much better than them!"
A camp leader said.
"Then could it be a Type V mutation? Has anyone seen a Type V mutated infected?"
The person asked again.
Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads.
A difference of one mutation level meant a vast gulf in strength.
With the current strength of the survivors, managing to return alive from the presence of a Type IV mutated infected was already considered a rare feat of strength.
If someone had indeed seen a Type V mutated infected, they likely wouldn't have had the chance to sit at this table for a meeting.
Zhang Chen also couldn't identify what it was.
"The prompt is invalid for videos. Only by encountering such a monster personally can valid information be obtained.
"The problem now is that we only know they appeared at the security checkpoint!
"But we have no idea what level of infected or mutated creature they are, what their strength is, or what their attack characteristics are!
"We also don't know their numbers!
"There's dense fog all around. In this situation, sending any number of people is like sending them to their deaths!"
Said Said, deeply regretting the loss of his five excellent scouts.
"I want to know, where did this dense fog come from?"
"Since you are the city lord, you should know better than us!"
Zhang Chen suddenly spoke, diverting from the monster topic and directly targeting the city lord, Jiao Qinghe.
Zhang Chen had been focused on the projection earlier.
Now he had the opportunity to use his Insight Eye to observe the people present.
To Jiao Qinghe's left sat Said, a Rank 1 Novice Transmuter with the Wealth talent.
To his right was the Nilotic man, a Rank 3 Advanced Awakener with the Energy Evolution talent.
The other leaders around the conference table were all Rank 1 Advanced Awakeners or higher.
The leaders seated on the periphery also included three or four Advanced Awakeners, with the rest being no lower than Rank 3 Intermediate Awakeners.
Anyone lower likely wouldn't have the qualification to enter this conference room.
However, the city lord of this city, Jiao Qinghe, was only a Rank 3 Intermediate Awakener, on par with Han Shuang.
His strength was pathetically weak!
A camp that could eliminate all monsters along the road from Pingze City to Angel Port should definitely be a formidable force.
The camp leader, even if not the strongest in the entire camp, should have a comparable strength.
A Rank 3 Intermediate Awakener could become a city lord?
There must be something suspicious going on here!
"This fog... it's been here since the beginning. I just happened to be the first to discover this place!
"Because there was no encroachment by mutated creatures nearby, my camp settled here. In fact, my understanding of this place is not much more than yours! wap.kanshuwu.net
"And the people who received you should have told you when you arrived!
"This is just a city, a place for everyone to communicate and rest. I don't have the ability to manage all the powerful experts...
"It's all thanks to your respect that the entire city remains orderly. Here, I express my gratitude for everyone's efforts towards peace!"
Jiao Qinghe said, then stood up and bowed deeply to everyone with utmost respect.
The others quickly rose and returned the bow with a slight inclination of their heads.
"The city lord is humble. He should not have the ability to create such a fog!"
Said smiled and commented.
"Our camp has aircraft. Perhaps we can fly directly over the dense fog to the interface city!"
The leader of the Nilotic camp said.
"Someone has already tried that method, and the results were even more tragic. Unknown monsters lurk in the air as well!
"Moreover, if the aircraft encounter problems during aerial combat, we will lose even more disastrously!"
The Westerner shrugged and directly dismissed the idea.
"Then... how about we try to disperse the fog?"
"I know that setting fires can induce air currents, which can easily disperse the fog!"
Someone suggested.
"Setting fires will indeed induce air currents, but who can control the wind direction?
"If the entire city catches fire, the loss would outweigh the gain!
"And I don't know if you've noticed, but there are many cotton-like things on the ground in the foggy area...
"Strong winds will blow them from the ground into the air, and I fear the entire city will be shrouded in this misty state...
"If the monsters take advantage of this to launch an attack, we will be completely wiped out..."
Another leader retorted.
Amidst the chatter, the scene quickly descended into chaos.
No one could come up with a convincing idea.
"Ahem, I have an idea. Everyone, listen to what you think!"
Zhang Chen coughed lightly and said slowly.
His voice was not loud.
However, everyone was exceptionally sensitive to Zhang Chen's voice, and the moment they heard it, the scene immediately fell silent.
Those who were not sensitive to the voices of the strong were no longer present...
"I suggest adopting a 'step-by-step' strategy!
"All camps, except for necessary personnel on duty, must send out their Awakener Rank 3 and above powerhouses!
"Set up as many reconnaissance teams as possible, with each team divided into three groups, and each group consisting of five people!
"This way, even if the first group encounters an attack, the remaining personnel can receive support from the second and third groups!
"If the first squad cannot hold on, they can receive support and assistance from the second and third squads.
"This way, every time we encounter a monster, our supporting combat power will increase exponentially, allowing us to test the enemy's strength with minimal losses.
"And even if the ambush fails, we are likely to obtain specific information about the enemy.
"As long as we obtain enemy information, we can formulate targeted combat plans!
"With so many of us advancing step by step, we will surely break this deadlock!"
Upon hearing Zhang Chen's words, everyone exchanged glances.
Although this method was not the most ideal and would still result in casualties, there was no more reliable alternative. Thus, everyone nodded in agreement and support.
Next, the leaders of each camp began to organize the reconnaissance personnel.
Zhang Chen, Xiaobai, and Er Pang voluntarily joined the second reconnaissance team.
According to the rotation order, the Nilotic man was assigned to the first reconnaissance team.
The Westerner organized the third reconnaissance team.
As they were discussing the coordination details, Zhang Chen suddenly received a message from Xiao Guanghan.
It contained only three words:
"Danger, return quickly!"
